Officials say Munoz was arguing with his girlfriend and trying to call her on his cellphone, when he allegedly hit the pair who were pulled over on a motorcycle. Munoz then left the accident scene and another motorist called 911. A search turned up Munoz eight hours later.

Munoz is charged with two counts each of aggravated vehicular homicide and first- and second-degree manslaughter, as well as a single DWI count.

There were discussions of a plea deal at today's hearing. Munoz could face six to 18 years in prison, according to the mother of one of the victims.
